Abstract
Communication between the brain and peripheral organs regulates essential physiological functions and is implicated in neurological, metabolic, and immune disorders. Studying these circuits requires technologies capable of stable, multimodal access to neural activity in dynamic peripheral environments. However, current neurotechnologies remain limited by poor mechanical compliance and instability in vivo. Our research addresses this challenge by developing fully conformable bioelectronic systems based on organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). Their mixed ionic-electronic conduction enables sensitive detection of low-amplitude signals, while their flexibility and biocompatibility ensure stable, long-term interfacing with moving tissues. We are developing OECT-based integrated circuits that combine sensing, amplification, and wireless operation within a soft platform, enabling simultaneous recording, stimulation, and modulation of neural activity across the brain–body axis.
Brain surgeries required to interface with neurons in vivo are inherently high-risk and typically not repeatable. Although traditional neural implants often perform well initially, more than 50% fail within months to years due to brain micromovement, inflammatory responses, and material degradation. To address these li...

We examine ongoing research for implantable sensors and stimulators for future brain-computer applications and give a review on the concept where grain-of-sand size silicon microchips form the individual nodes in a multichannel wireless implant. In such an approach, each chip can perform the function of a stand-alone i...
